back then, Federal intervention was helpful. today? probably not. these Generals will not resist demands by the Orange Child to put Federal troops into the streets to suppress peaceful dissent, and will approve orders to fire upon them. I fear for my Spec/4 Grand-Nephew upon facing anti-Constitutional orders.

From N4RTD via WI8X@4:59AM EST on 3/7/25:
Good Morning Folks! The Sunspot Number has dropped to 100. The Solar Flux Index has dropped to 150. A large hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, and it is directly facing Earth. An emerging stream of solar wind should reach our planet on March 9-10. Chance of flares today: 45% for M-Class, 10% for X-Class.

idiots and clowns; a plurality of the Citizens of this Republic elected idiots who appointed clowns to high office. I really hate this fork of reality, sometimes.

Il segretario di Stato USA, Marco Rubio, si è presentato in TV con una croce in fronte per il mercoledì delle ceneri.
Dietro le apparenze della innovazione tecno-libertaria, l'oscurantismo, la superstizione e il vassallaggio dominano lo scenario politico e sociale. Sono le dinamiche della disperazione, quelle che fanno leva sulla superstizione e il bigottismo per ricompattare una identità nazionale a basso costo cognitivo e sociale.
Più che una grande America direi una grande e profonda crisi.

Second SpaceX launch in a row blew up tonight, here’s a video from inside a commercial airline.

If you’re wondering why they are allowed to fly in this area, the FAA had grounded flights but the leadership involved got DOGE’d.

Trump’s coup is still underway, and an unelected billionaire is handing teenagers the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data — yet 10 House Democrats just sided with Republicans to police criticism of Trump.

While tens of millions of Americans brace for the devastating consequences of MAGA’s extreme cuts — losing health insurance, life-saving benefits, and critical protections — these 10 Democrats decided their priority was upholding “norms” that the GOP has torched for years.
